"The last thing I googled was actually Zendaya," said the Spider-Man actor, adding, "I'm not on social media, and I delete it when I'm not using it."
"So, sometimes, like, it's more of a bit of an anxiety thing, but I'll check to see if everything's good and to make sure we're all cool. So I just give her a little Google and look through the news, and I'm like, 'She's good," he said.
The way he cares for her was clearly visible at the New York City launch party of his brand on October 24. In a viral clip, the actor could be seen rescuing Zendaya from fans who surrounded her, asking them to “give us a little bit of space”.
The couple, who met while working on 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming and began dating in 2021, have kept their relationship a secret. "I can't not be a person and live my life and love the person I love," Zendaya said in an interview, adding, "You can't hide. That's not fun, either. I am navigating it more than ever now."
"It's about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist," she added.
However, the duo were never reluctant to express their feelings. Tom said at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, "Zendaya and I will, every now and then, watch Spider-Man 1 and reminisce about being 19 and making those movies again."
"I love those movies, and I love savouring those moments, so I try not to watch them as often as I would maybe like to because it's so special," he added. "It's such a luxury, such a gift to be able to sit down and sort of relive your youth," reported People.
